What is social engineering?

A Social Engineering job typically involves manipulating or influencing people to disclose confidential information, often for security testing or ethical hacking purposes. Professionals in this role study human psychology, exploit security weaknesses, and test an organization's vulnerability to phishing, pretexting, and other deceptive tactics. Ethical social engineers work to improve cybersecurity by identifying and strengthening weak points in human-based security protocols.

What are some common challenges faced by social engineering professionals in their daily work?

Social Engineering professionals often navigate the challenge of balancing ethical testing practices with organizational trust, ensuring that their methods expose vulnerabilities without causing undue alarm. They must stay updated on evolving tactics and countermeasures, as threat actors continually develop new strategies for bypassing security. Collaboration with IT, HR, and management teams is essential for clear communication and effective training. This dynamic environment requires adaptability, discretion, and a commitment to ethical standards as well as ongoing professional development.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in social engineering, and why are they important?

To succeed in a Social Engineering role, you need a deep understanding of human psychology, information security principles, and risk assessment, often supported by a degree in cybersecurity or related certifications such as CEH or Security+. Familiarity with social engineering toolkits, phishing simulation platforms, and incident response systems is often required. Excellent communication, observation, and persuasive skills help build trust and effectively identify vulnerabilities. These skills are crucial for ethically testing and strengthening an organization’s defenses against human-based security threats.

Why Join Doppel
Doppel is building the future of social engineering defense. Our AI-native platform uses agentic AI to protect executives, employees, customers, and brands from phishing, impersonation, fraud, and other AI-powered threats across digital channels. We help some of the world's most recognized brands detect and dismantle attacker infrastructure while strengthening employee resilience through threat-informed training and simulation. By unifying Digital Risk Protection, Human Risk Management and Email Security, Doppel connects threats into a real-time intelligence graph to power faster disruption, smarter defense, and modern security awareness at scale.
Backed by leading investors including Andreessen Horowitz and Bessemer Venture Partners, and trusted by leading enterprises, Doppel is a rapidly growing Series C startup building the future of social engineering defense. Our team combines deep cybersecurity expertise, operational rigor, and startup velocity to solve some of the internet's most urgent trust and safety challenges.
What We're Building
We're building the AI-native social engineering defense platform.
This means we're designing scalable systems that monitor billions of domains, social media accounts, apps, dark web forums, etc., and leverage AI agents to identify and neutralize digital threats.
What You'll Do
We're looking for technically strong, product-minded engineers who enjoy working directly with customers to solve complex problems and rapidly build solutions that become part of the Doppel platform. The ideal candidate combines strong software engineering skills with customer empathy, product intuition, and the ability to execute independently in ambiguous environments.
  • Build customer-facing applications, workflows, and product capabilities that solve real enterprise problems.
  • Develop AI-powered automations and integrations for customers and internal teams.
  • Prototype and ship end-to-end solutions that can evolve into core product functionality.
  • Partner directly with enterprise customers to understand requirements and drive successful deployments.
  • Build and maintain integrations with APIs, webhooks, identity providers, SIEM/SOAR platforms, and other enterprise systems.
  • Troubleshoot authentication and enterprise integration issues (OAuth, SAML, SCIM, etc.).
  • Own multiple customer projects simultaneously, coordinating across engineering, product, and customer-facing teams.
  • Translate customer feedback into scalable product improvements.
  • Build internal tooling that accelerates onboarding, deployment, and operational workflows.
  • Create and maintain documentation, dashboards, and best practices for customer deployments and integrations.

What we're looking for
  • Strong software engineering background with experience building production applications (Python preferred).
  • Familiarity with AI application development, LLM APIs, or workflow automation is a strong plus.
  • Comfortable working directly with enterprise and non technical customers to solve technical problems.
  • Strong understanding of enterprise authentication and integrations (OAuth, SAML, SCIM, webhooks, REST APIs).
  • Proven ability to manage multiple projects and stakeholders simultaneously.
  • Excellent communication and organizational skills, with the ability to bridge technical and non-technical teams.
  • Product-minded, highly autonomous, and comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment.

What We Offer
A mission-driven culture with low ego, high ownership, deep customer obsession, and exceptional talent density
Free lunch and dinner in the office
Flexible PTO
Quarterly team offsites
